@CTHW@mstdn.ca Yes, lots of us are transitioning away from fossil fuels and will continue work on building sustainable local communities. Perhaps Canada was never going to fulfill its Paris commitments but insane subsidies and buying pipelines that result in triple or double tar sands production, is just pure madness.

@miki_lou@mastodon.social How? Pipelines add nothing to the emissions And there will always be a market for O & G. Alberta supplying 5 of 80 million bbl/day of oil with an extraction debt lower than Venezuela or Nigeria actually aids in emissions control. Global warming is existential and "feel good" responses that don't help the transition are wasted. A far bigger issue are the obstacles Ontario (focus on ice vehicles) and Alberta (discourage/forbid renewables) put on achieving an evolution. Alberta has also blinded itself to using oil sand bitumen in more profitable ways than just converting it for combustion.
